I'd been hearing about the product for a couple of years and finally ordered some, but inadvertantly ordered lite! Yuk! After much anticipation, waiting for it's arrival, and then finally opening up the (cheap plastic) jar and putting some on a piece of bread to try it with.... it tasted like wall spackle. Ok, I've never eaten wall spackle, but I'm pretty sure it tastes like "lite" baconnaise. Then I realized after careful examination of the label that I ordered the "lite." Dammit.

Determined to finally taste the ORIGINAL baconnaise, I went back on amazon and (very carefully) ordered the ORIGINAL baconnaise. And it's pretty dang good! I'll leave a review of the original, non-lite product there.

When I saw the add, I knew I wanted to try it. I already have a mixed selection of the Bacon Salt. Good flavor, what I expected...but don't overdue it and it is better. Great on fries and mix it with a little lite mayo or sour cream for a salad dressing or dip. I will accept that it isn't as creamy as mayo, and it has a kinda lite,gritty texture almost,if you taste it by itself. Try it with peanut butter on toast. My problem is my brother, he uses mayo on everything and he loves it, so I hide a jar just for myself. It does have a pretty strong smokey bacon flavor by itself.

I am a bacon fiend and was very excited to try Baconnaise! However, after a small taste, both my husband and I found it disgusting. It tastes very chemically and not so much like bacon - more like smoke flavoring. We threw it all away.

Hey Bacon Lovers,

The original BACONNAISE is absolutely delicious! There is NOTHING else like it on store shelves! No, I am not the maker of this product or associated with it in any way other than being a HAPPY CUSTOMER! YUMMMY!

The LITE Baconnaise, just like most calorie restricted products, doesn't taste as great as the original, fattier Baconnaise! I suggest you go to J&D's website & buy the original BACONNAISE and not the lite variety.

I was hooked on FAST FOOD, especially McDonald's Big Macs! I got a jar of original Baconnaise (looks darker than the lite jar that is pictured here) after seeing it featured on Oprah. It was LOVE AT FIRST BITE!

Although it's NOT a diet food, I have lost almost 10 pounds in only 3 weeks because I'd rather eat at home using my Baconnaise than grab something at the drive-thru! I especially like a lean Roast Beef sandwich with Baconnaise.

No fast food means no french fries or super sized Coke, so I think that's why I'm dropping the pounds! Financially, we're saving a lot of CASH $$$ because I have DISCOVERED something that makes me SATISFIED with what I'm putting in my mouth. Does that make sense? Seriously, it costs us about $20 a fast food meal & we used to eat out several times a week. We still do pizza every so often, but fast food has lost its allure!

I even went so far as to dab on some Baconnaise on a stalk of (ugh) broccoli yesterday & it was EAT-ABLE for once! I can assure you I am NOT a veggie eater AT ALL! Thanks to this tasty product, I now have hope that I can break my ADDICTION to fast food. Even eating some veggies is NOW a possibility (almost an unbelievable statement from a junque food junkie!)

I took the time to write this because I could NOT believe the negative reviews and wanted to CLARIFY for all of those thinking about trying Baconnaise to purchase the ORIGINAL Baconnaise formula. It has HELPED ME a great deal & I am now hooked for life!

Good Luck & Happy Eats! :D

This jar of light coral goo is filed in the back of the fridge with "one-recipe" stuff and other exotica. It is waiting there for me to admit that my curiosity and desire for novelty beat back my better judgement. In a blind-tasting, "bacon" would not be my first reaction and the texture is slimy and unappealing (room temp or cold).

This is more like a flavored spread than a true mayo replacement, I would not advise using it in Potato salad or tuna fish. It is very tasty as a veggie dip and as an admittedly rich burrito topping.

I was surprised how many haters there are for the Lite version. Disclaimer: I've never tried the full fat version and I'm sure it's delicious, but if you're watching your fat intake, there has to be some compromise. I saw this at the grocery store next to the regular Baconnaise.
Lite version: 2.5 grams fat per 2 Tbl.
Original version: 9 grams fat per 2 Tbl.

I'm used to eating lite variations (though not fat free, yuck) of sour cream, mayo, salad dressing, etc. So this wasn't a big leap for me. First sandwich, I was not impressed. Second sandwich, meh. By the third sandwich I was hooked. When by bottle ran out I had a hard time going back to plain mayo. I've been eating it so much that I don't even want to try the fattier version b/c then I'll be eating even more, yikes!

It may not be a good taste for everyone, and I can understand that. But it's yummy to me :-)

This is a great tasting product!! Both me and my wife love it. I don't know how they did it but it is wonderful.

Baconnaise is so good - it really tastes like bacon, just creamier. I would highly recommend this product.

Bought this and the regular for a friend's birthday present. Purchased the 3 pack - My friend saw a review of this on Oprah - Can't find it in stores... so I tried this - It is a bit strong - had to mix in more light mayo with it... I am waiting for my tomatoes to come in for a Tomato and Baconnaise sandwich - that will be the TRUE TEST!!
So far my review is this - Not bad -but it is strong. You may have to mix it with more mayo like I did.
